What is a substance on which an enzyme acts?
Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze (i.e., increase the rates of) chemical reactions.In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products.Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell.
How many different chemical reactions can a single enzyme catalyze?
1
How are enzymes related to macromolecules and chemical reactions?
enzymes catalyze reactions that bind or break chemical bonds. catalyze means it speeds up the preparation time so the reaction can happen sooner/quicker.
Where do enzymes catalyze reactions?
enzymes catayze chemical reaction where Eva the substrate and active site meet wheather that be in you mouth stomach , larger /smaller intesine or lower gut of whitch the biological enzymes are found.
How do enzymes affect reactions in living cells?

Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell. Enzymes are known to catalyze about 4,000 biochemical reactions.

Does a protein catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions in organisms called an enzyme?
Yes, proteins which catalyze chemical reactions are called enzymes.

A substance that causes or that speeds up a chemical reaction while the substance itself remains unchanged?
catalyst
What proteins are vital living things because of they speed up chemical reactions by up to a trillion times?
You are thinking of enzymes a protein molecule that helps other organic molecules enter into chemical reactions with one another but is itself unaffected by these reactions. In other words, enzymes act as catalysts (speed up 1000x) organic biochemical reactions.
What does enzyme does to the chemical in the body?
It depends on what enzyme and what chemical you're talking about.In general, enzymes catalyze a certain reaction for a certain molecule or class of molecules. They do pretty much bupkis to any molecules outside that class.
What is the definition of enzyme?
Enzymes are proteins that are able to catalyze (i.e accelerate) biochemical reactions. During the course of a reaction, the enzyme is able to convert a substrate to a product but the enzyme does not get consumed in the reaction.
Why are enzymes used tocreat the soft centerd chocolates?
Enzymes accelerate, or catalyze, chemical reactions. The molecules at the beginning of the process are called substrates and the enzyme converts these into different molecules, called products.It off-setts the sweetness in your chocolate!
